Default Magnaflow Header or EX mini me?

Hi, I have a 99 lx sedan and I've been reading up on the stickies about headers. I read that with this car I cannot do a header swap without removing the cat converter.

My question is would I gain more power with a Magnaflow header which has the cat converter or a EX mini me swap? I haven't looked up each part yet but from what I've read they cost pretty much the same.

Wow, that was fast! Thanks for the reply. If I've never done anything to a car before should I get a mechanic to do the swap or try myself with a guide?

I did the EX conversion just recently. If your gonna go through the trouble of doing anything i woulld do the mini-me swap, which is next on my agenda if i can't find a B16 or B18.
